Comedians and podcast hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster are thrilled to announce that following a completely sold-out UK & Ireland tour in 2023 they are bringing their smash hit podcast back to the stage in 2025. Off Menu: Live in London will be returning for a limited run, taking in two nights at the London Palladium in March 2025. Tickets are on general sale on Friday 12th July at 10:00am, with a pre-sale to the Off Menu mailing list on Thursday 11th July at 10:00 am. Tickets will be available fromwww.lwtheatres.co.uk and www.seetickets.com.                                            

Ed Gamble and James Acaster will invite a different special guest to the Dream Restaurant each night to order their favourite ever starter, main course, dessert, side dish and drink (not in that order), in what will be Off Menu’s only UK shows of 2025. Get ready for an evening of (still or) sparkling conversation, dangerously close to the River Thames.

The new live dates were announced today as Off Menu returns for a new 20-episode series, with Taskmaster and Alma’s Not Normal star Sophie Willan as the first guest of series 12.                                                                         

Since launching in December 2018, Off Menu has become one of the biggest podcasts in the country, winning multiple awards, regularly topping the podcast charts and racking up over 177 million downloads. In 2019 and 2020, it was nominated for Best Comedy Podcast at the British Podcast Awards. Previous guests have included Paul Rudd, Steve Coogan, Dawn French, Florence Pugh, Ainsley Harriott, Sir Lenny Henry and Kathy Burke.

Ed Gamble said: “We’re positively drooling at the thought of getting the podcast back out on stage. Also, Benito refused to give me back my insulin until we agreed to do it.”

James Acaster said:

“Dreams can come true

Look at me babe, I’m with you

You know you gotta have hope

You know you gotta be strong.

See you at the Palladium, everybody!”
